We got our first little smattering of snow last night. I use the word smattering because what we got doesn’t even qualify as a dusting. 60 degrees on Wednesday. 28 degrees and snow on Thursday. Nashville weather is so weird! What’s more weird is that schools are closed today. I love the drama of the […]

Happy New Year! It’s time for a fresh start… new beginnings… new goals… renewed dreams… Here are a few things I do every year to get off to a great start: 1) Set aside some time for reflection. I love this list from Michael Hyatt. 2) Make a list of books you want to read. […]
I’m spending the week at my Dad’s house catching up with family and getting some relaxing time before we go racing into the New Year. This is always one of my favorite weeks of the year. It seems like all of life slows down a bit allowing for some good planning and reflection. Family time […]
